The diamagnetic shifts of the
mJ=0 and ${m}_{J}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ components of
6snp1P1 (
n=40,55,70,85,100) and
6s55p3P0,1 Rydberg states of
172,174Yb have been measured in external magnetic fields up to ≌3 kG by high-resolution three-photon spectroscopy. The diamagnetic shifts have been analyzed to yield the singlettriplet mixing due to spin-orbit interaction. At
n=40, the singlet-triplet mixing derived from diamagnetic shifts and hyperfine-structure data are in excellent agreement.
We report on the measurement of the isotope shifts of the
3d74sa5F5–3d74pz5G6o Fe i line at 358 nm between all four stable isotopes
54Fe,56Fe,57Fe, and
58Fe, as well as the hyperfine structure of that line for
57Fe, the only stable isotope having a nonzero nuclear spin. This line is of primary importance for laser-cooling applications. In addition, an experimental value of the field and specific mass shift coefficients of the transition is reported as well as the hyperfine structure magnetic dipole coupling constant
A of the transition excited state in
57Fe, namely
A(3d74pz5G6o)=31.241(48) MHz. The measurements were carried out by means of laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy performed on an isotope-enriched iron atomic beam. All measured frequency shifts are reported with relative uncertainties below one third percent.
